street Railway.

The subject of a street railway for Pa
latka, which has been talked of, is
again being agitated with vigor, and
from facts we gather, it looks as though
something is going to be accomplished,
and our citizens can hold up their heads
and claim a. much for Palatka as some
of the other cities, not far distant, do.
Mr.. Hibbard, who is the prime mover in
this enterprise, says he is meeting with
encouragement from all sources in the
way of subscriptions, and if our Council
will be more liberal than in their char
ter to the last company that made such
an effort to build the road, there will be
no doubt but that the enterprise will be
one more star i'm the crown of Palatka's
success

Social Dance.

The second dance by the Palatka
Dancing Club was given at Capt. Lucas
Hall last night, with quite a large
attendance. There were twelve
couples, besides quite a number of
stays, as they are commonly
called. The evening was as pleasant as
could be desired, the rain having cooled
the atmosphere which made it much
better for the dancers. The young Ia
dies looked very attractive in their
pretty costumes. These dances are
growing in popularity, and some of the
young men who are SO fond of dancing
should try and bring a partner. There
are several dudes who make a practice
of going to dances without ladies and
ii en- try and moaopolize the company
of those that are there. These are not
stag dances, gentlemen.

BROOKSVILLE NOTES.

Col. Forbes Addresses the People on the
sub-Tropical Exposition.
Correspondence of the Pt,Idtkd Neus.
BROOKsvIIL.E, FLA, June 22.-Monday
evening. June 20, Col. w. T. Forbes, of
Jacksonville, addressed the citizens of
this place on the Sub-Tropical EXPOSE
ton, giving full details of the plan for
the successful accomplishment of the en-
terprise, also the proposed buildings,
grounds, etc.
Col. Forbes plainly demonstrated that
this exposition would be one of the
grandest achievements in behalf of the
State that has yet been instituted-show-
ing its vast products, the great variety
of its soil, the manner of cultivation
which, once in successful operation,
would present one of the most delight
full, instructive and entertaining collec-
lions ever brought under one roof. Here
not only the visitor, but the resident
could see and feel the incalculable bene-
fits that are to be derived from the Elk
position.
While we are in love with Florida, we
are conscious that there are thousands
of others who desire the welfare of the
State, who will work for its develop
meut and make it one of the richest and
most desirable States in the Union.

Narrow Escape of - Passenger Train From
Frightful Disaster.

Narrow Escape of u Passenger Train From
u Frightful Disaster.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. IA bad railroad
smash-up occurred this morning about
one o'clock on the Cleveland 4 Pitts
burgh railroad, just south Of the city
limits. The bridge gave way under an ex-
press train, but luckily no lives were lost.
The night express on the Cleveland 4 Pitts
burgh road left the Union Depot on time.
Shortly after midnight it met with dis
aster at bridge No. . The bridge was of
iron, about sixty feet long and eighteen
feet above the water. Heavy rains had
swollen the creek SO that it spanned
into a torrent, and it is supposed
that the flood undermined the
stone abutments. When the locomotive
struck the bridge the engineer felt it trem-
BILE, but it passed over safelyand the baggage
and express car went over the shaky struc-
ture without accident. The smoking car
had only got fairly on the bridge when it
sagged downward, and with a sudden shock
the train was brought to standstIll. Had
the train been running at the regular speed
a terrible disaster would have occurred. but
the engineer was going cautiously on ac-
count of the flooded condition of the coun-
try. The sudden jerk threw the engine, bag
gage and express cars over on their sides
into ditch, the tender remaining on the
track. The smoker caught between the abut-
ments and was held partly by the debris of
the bridge and remained midway between
the water and the level of the track. Only
one passenger and q brakeman were in it,
and they succeeded in climbing out without
injury. The first truck of the passenger
car went over the edge Of the abutment and
rolled upon the end of the smoker. 1t con-
tanned fifteen people, four of whom We're
ladies'

MOUNT BRIDGES, Ont. Feb. ia reign
Of terror exists here, owing to several out
RACES which have been perpetrated by the
liquor dealers on the clergymen and others
who have commenced a crusade against
them in enforcing the Canada Temperance
act Inspector Robertson's house was
broken into, the front door and window
smashed in, and havoc made generally
among the furniture. Two shots were
fired in the hallway, but fortunately
without injury to any one. The
house of Rev. Silcox, who had been an
active worker against them, was also at
tackled, but they were discovered before
any damage was done. Rev. ]. F. Moore, a
Methodist clergyman, was the next victi N,
all the widow glass being smashed out OF
the front Of the house and the front door
broken in. A revolver shot was fired
through the window at Moore without doing
him any harm. Several other Outrages Of
similar character have been perpetrated
and threats are made to burn the houses of
all those who make any further attempt to
enforce the Temperance act.

The Clerk of the Boston Criminal Court
Embezxies $500, 900.
BOsTON. Feb. 9.-John c. Leighton, for
nineteen years clerk of the municipal Grim.
inal court in this city, is short in his &C.
counts to a large amount. The exact sum
of the defalcation can not be known until
the expert now engaged on the books COM
pletes his work. 1t is stated, however, by
City Auditor Dodge, that the total will be
perhaps EaOO.COO or more. Leighton was
appointed in 1861, and held office up to with
in short time ago. In the court in which
he served thousands of criminal cases were
tried annually, and money received for
fines and costs was all turned over
to the clerk, who is supposed to deposit it
with the city treasurer of Boston, who is
also county treasurer. 1t is said the pres
ent auditors predecessors have not audited
the accounts Of this court for years: as I'M
plicit confidence seems to have been placed
in Clerk Leighton. For many years he has
been known only as an honored and re-
spected citizen and the blow will be "a SO.
we're one. What he did with all the money
he has taken is a mystery to his friends.
His habits of life were not extravagant and
he had no family.

American Legal Methods Given a Little,
Airing In England.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Next Tuesday, in Lam
cashi-e, man will be hung for murder
committed shortly after New Years. A
paper speaking of the event, compares the
speedy justice Of England with the faxity
Of America in executing condemned muir
derers. It cites the Maxwell case in st.
Louis, Spies in Chicago. and other cases
in America, and closes with this little
stab of irony, which is timely, to say the
least:
"After sentences have been passed in
America the law Of the Republic holds as.
first principle that every possible
chance should be given to q suspect to.
prove his innocence. The law will not
take mean advantage of a suspect SIM
ply because circumstances are cruel
toward him. In few years the witnesses
might forget the points of their evidence,
or die. or become aldermen, or in some,
other way make themselves IN
worthy Of trust The prisoner him
self, in the interval, might
succumb to high living or old age, but that
would be his own lookout, and the law
would only pity his misfortune in thus IN
timely dropping of when there was good
prospect of a flaw being discovered in the
Supreme Court to favor an entire retriai.
In no part Of the world has crime a better
chance Of escaping with impunity than
in the great Republic. 1t is rampant and
defiant. The knowledge of it is no bar
rier to acceptance in business circles. and
a known criminal is apt to be regarded as
little above the rest. The bail system
and the theory that a suspected man
should be provided with facilities for
proving his possible or impossible limo
cence. are at the bottom OF this state
things"

Schwartz COnEekseA.

NORRIS, ILL.,. Feb. 11.-Henry Schwartz,
who is in Jail here. suspected Of being i'm
plicated in the Rock Island express robbery,
has, it is said, made confession to his wife.
The confession, it is said, may lead to the ar
rest of two, and possibly three, parties in
Chicago. If these three are arrested Newton
Watts will be one of them. though it is still
believed he is innocent. The names of the
other two are withheld for the present.
These men are the ones who actually COM
mitted the double crime Of murder and
robbery, the former being resorted to in
order to avoid recognition as the perpetra-
tors of the latter. Henry Schwartz's con-
nection with the affair was thai Of acces-
sorry. and his duty on the night of its COM
mission was to guard against any one en-
tering the express car between Joliet and
